General Discussion - Who will benefit greatly from GGG missed opportunities? - Forum

The fact Tencent is investing in Riot MMORPG only means they've thrown in the towel for GGG, since this game has lost a significant player base and support. They're aware of the market they're missing on and now they're trying to regain it. So, spending the $ to reinvest is also attributed to their drop in stock.

Episode #327 of Kopogero talking about things he doesn't understand. The opposite of knowledge is not illiteracy, but the illusion of knowledge.	Posted by ArtCrusade#4438 on Mar 17, 2021, 9:05:40 PM On Probation Quote this Post
Maybe OP missed out the fact that Tencent shares double from a year ago. It was in low 300s HKD when Covid hit. Linking a week of share movement to GGG is so shallow and if you are into the news, you would know that it is not only Tencent but the broad IT industry in China that is taking a hit due to government clampdown on IT giants.

Riot making an APRG game? The same disgraceful and excuse of a dev Riot? Hahahah, I gotta see that. Suppose it was time to find a new project to work on after mercilessly butchering your bread & butter moba game.

Also Riot is making MMO not really an ARPG. I didnt play LoL since S3 but i can clearly see the revenue statistics. Your opinion doesnt matter one bit.

Every game doesn't have to be "everything". PoE is an ARPG. Should GGG twist PoE into an MMO just because the genre has a larger potential regarding player numbers? ARPG will always be a pretty niche genre, especially the hack'n slash part of ARPG. Diablo 3 was the fastest-selling PC game, which they held for a while, & had like 10 or its is 30 million concurrent players at its peak.It was also the most hyped game when it launch. The reason for the fall of ARPG to the currently small market is due to the disappointment of D3, & there isn't a lot of big & mainstream ARPG games out in the market. PoE will always be niche due to lack of mainstream appeal due to lack of MP features & some hardcore & poor QoL features like XP lost on death, lab, reliant on 3rd party apps. a lot of people claim PoE wasn't as bad as it is "complex". To a cerzain degree yes, but many complex games (MOBA, MMO, Fortnite:building) are popular.	Posted by KiadawP#5072 on Mar 18, 2021, 8:06:45 AM Quote this Post

Its all there is to it. Other ARPGs have no chance.	Posted by kuciol#0426 on Mar 18, 2021, 8:25:39 AM Quote this Post
OP => LoL (especially deductions of stock prices moves) After the wreckage of D3, my trust level to Blizzard ability to deliver something tasty with D4 is close to zero. There is no threat in sight for PoE.	Posted by Loolum#5396 on Mar 18, 2021, 8:28:23 AM Quote this Post

Doesnt matter if you like it or not, the game is still at the top. Nothing you say will change that. And before you say something stupid like "not for long" you should know that they say such things about lol every season.
